Comprehensive Approach to Infections in Dermatology is a guide to all types of skin infection, with detailed information on epidemiology, presentation, diagnosis and management. The book is divided into eight sections; the first deals with 'normal flora' of the skin (microorganisms present under normal circumstances, without causing disease), whilst each subsequent chapter covers a specific type of dermatological infection including bacterial, fungal, viral, and mycobacterial infections, parasitic and protozoal diseases, infestations, bites and stings, and finally sexually transmitted infections. The book provides a step-by-step approach to bedside diagnostic procedures, with key points highlighted throughout. 400 full colour clinical photographs illustrate the methods covered, and data, graphics and evidence-based therapeutic guidelines are presented in tables for ease of reference. Key Points Covers all types of skin infection in detail, with epidemiology, presentation, diagnosis and management Step-by-step guidance on diagnostic procedures 400 full colour photographs

Patients with psychocutaneous disease may present to multiple professionals to seek care. The multidimensional nature of the conditions can lead to specialists being fearful of how to properly manage patients. For example, a dermatologist may be unfamiliar and uncomfortable with acquiring sensitive psychosocial information and a psychiatrist may not know management protocols of wound care related to the patient's condition. With the basic information provided in The Essentials of Psychodermatology, healthcare providers can increase their comfort and become less hesitant when making decisions in determining the proper treatment course and assessing the need for referral. This book provides vital information for a multidisciplinary audience to spark collaboration, increased awareness, and ultimately, improved patient-care and will find audience with: Healthcare providers from multiple diverse fields such as, but not limited to, family medicine, dermatology, and psychiatry; Physicians, physician's assistants, nurses, psychologists, and students with exposure to patients with psychocutaneous conditions and/or a special interest in the field; and Professors, educators, and researchers with an interest in psychodermatology or interdisciplinary medicine.

Skin aging is the result of two distinct, biological processes which may occur concurrently: extrinsic and intrinsic aging. The first chapter of this book focuses on the anti-skin aging effects of natural products, such as polyphenols and terpenes using topical application and oral administration. Future prospects for this field of research will focus on natural products combined with molecular techniques to help maximize the desired anti-skin aging benefits. The second chapter provides a brief review of skin characteristics, skin aging mechanisms and dermal applications. The next chapter of the book reviews the types of pollution and external aggression that skin is exposed to and reviews recently published studies that report that cumulative exposure to the five daily environmental aggressors (pollution, sun, cold, heat and wind) increase this skin damage. The remaining chapters review the role of inflammation in regulation of skin aging; the relevant methods, the physiological structure and function of the Stratum Corneum, as well as the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic aging on these parameters; the physiology of skin photoaging and the emerging therapies for combating photoaging and photocarcingenesis; and the biological effects and the latest findings on the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factors (MIF) in photoaging following UV exposure.

The discovery of this hitherto forgotten collection of paintings by Carl von Rzehaczek and possibly Lorenz Matthaus Carl Rigler lies not only in their quality and their historical value but as rare examples of skin diseases illustrated by doctors who were also artists. Undoubtedly the finest of these was Anton Elfinger who was responsible for most of Hebra's wonderful Atlas published a few decades later than this collection was made.
This beautiful book faithfully reproduces these 19th century illustrations, each of which is accompanied by an explanatory text by a leading international dermatologist.
"a valuable addition to our important historical heritage and a fascinating commentary on the changes made in dermatology in the first 160 years. The authors deserve our praise" Darrell Wilkinson

Procedural Dermatology compiles current, state-of-the-art information valuable to all practitioners of dermatologic surgery, from the trainees to seasoned surgeons wishing to refine their skills.

Sun protection practices play a prominent role in dermatology in terms of photoaging, photocarcinogensis, and photodermatoses. This book begins by outlining the various methods of sun protection. It continues to discuss risk factors for sun exposure during spring break among college students; the role sun exposure plays in skin aging; and protection habits and vitamin D levels in children and adolescents with a history of malignancy.

The integument (the natural covering of an organism or an organ, such as its skin, husk, shell, or rind) is the largest organ system of the human body and is often described as the gatekeeper to every other system. Its integrity will not only determine the admission or rejection of many foreign invaders (bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.), but also plays a significant role in providing the milieu for the immune system to do battle with these invaders. It is typically the first view of an examiner and often yields very important clues to seemingly non-dermatologic issues. This book takes us one step further, devoting chapters to the interplay between integument and heretofore generally unnoted strongly related psychosocial issues.

This book focuses on skin photoaging, the premature aging of skin due to environmental effects such as exposure to UV (UVA, UVB) radiation from the sun.

Do you have a black colored lesion in your skin that won't go away? Or a blister formation every time you wear your favorite shoes? Any anomaly in the skin gets noticed right away. It can strike our self esteem and make us feel embarrassed. There are different types of skin lesions such as papules, macules, moles, blisters and vesicles. Skin cancer can arise from a pigmented nevi. Shingles have blisters that follow the nerve pathways. These skin structures are not a part of our integumentary system. This book contains the facts regarding skin cancer, shingles, burns, pressure ulcers, skin cuts and the different classification of skin lesions and wounds. It also contains information regarding causes, diagnostic procedures, treatments and caring for the different skin conditions. The main goal is to make the reader more informed. The chapters in this book are: Chapter 1: Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin Chapter 2: Skin Integrity Chapter 3: Skin Lesions and Skin Wounds Chapter 4: Wound Healing Chapter 5: Skin Wounds: Intervention, Treatment, Care and Recovery Chapter 6: Skin Cancer Lesions: Interventions, Treatment, Care and Recovery Chapter 7: Shingles Lesions: Intervention, Treatment, Care and Recovery Chapter 8: Pressure Ulcer Lesions and Wounds: Intervention, Treatment, Care and Recovery Chapter 9: Burn Lesions and Wounds: Intervention, Treatment, Care and Recovery
